No. 19: Grand Szechuan's Chung King Chicken One of our favorite things about Szechuan chicken is that sometimes the dish is so fiery that you can't hardly see the chunks of chicken for the chiles. Huzzah! Bring on the heat! (Don't worry, that doesn't mean you have to eat them all--you can calibrate the heat based on the ratio of chiles to chicken chunks you pluck up with your chopsticks.) The meat seems ever more succulent when marinated in spicy soy/garlic sauce. While we like our chicken roasted and we like it fried, those preparations seem a little simplistic compared to Szechuan style.
